If you like to tinker then build your own. The one that you show in the first link isn't a bad deal at all...what is their warranty period? Having a warranty and "guaranteed" compatibility are always nice to have. I am sure that you have already done your research however have you checked CyberPowerPC? They are an excellent choice as well. I moved away from the desktop platform and moved to a laptop a few years back because with the way processing and mobile video power has moved forward it is nice to have the convenience of being able to unplug and just go. All I did was purchase a 24" monitor to port out to, a 5.1 speaker system, and a USB hub and I was golden for when at home. My current laptop is running an Nvidia 2xx series GPU, 500GB 7200 RPM HD, 4GB RAM, and with having the external monitor I can run dual. Just something to consider.

I've never built a pc in my life. Always had mates put them together for me. Then I bought my current pc from a shop (Acer Aspire) and thought it was pretty good.

The one in the first link has a 2 year warranty.

I'm doing my research now, using you guys to help. What is this CyberPowerPC you talk of?

I've never been a fan of laptops, namely because the keyboard is untiltable and I hate not having a proper mouse (yes I know you can buy one). I just prefer desktop.

Thanks for your words of wisdom.
